Entry Description

How to transcribe an architecture in the nature? Should we craft a brand-new self-operating ecosystem or conceive an interactive metaphor attached to the existing context. Here indigenous people’s academy is literally responsive toward the site topography, climate, and hydrography, as a branch of sensory extensions of natural context. Simultaneously, it inscribes local Narragansett people’s milieux, culture and traditional spatial experience.Eventually, this sustainable building where passive design strategies cooperated, doesn’t forget to be reciprocal within nature, as architecture itself.
